Former LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri to be inducted into Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame
Longtime LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri will be officially inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame this weekend.
The head coach of the Tigers from 2007-21, he won a national title in 2009 and reached the College World Series five times. His team also finished as the runner-up in 2017.
Mainieri retired following the 2021 season with an overall record of 641-281-3. In his 15-year career, he recorded four 50-win seasons including a 57-win campaign in 2013, which still stands as the program record.
He’s one of three LSU baseball coaches to win a national championship, joining legendary five-time champion Skip Bertman and Jay Johnson, who won his first title this past season.
Congratulations to LSU Legend, @NCAA College World Series Champion and four-time National Coach of the Year Paul Mainieri on your induction this weekend into the @LaSportsHall!
